Passenger

Hello everyone ! Its been a little while ….. hope you’re all well ?! Just wanted to share this video with you - its another one from my recent charity album “sometimes its something , sometimes its nothing at all” - all recorded and filmed at Abbey Road Studios with a string quartet . The song is “let me dream a while” which has been around for a few years now . Such a buzz to hear it with these strings !!! If you haven’t checked out the album yet then you can buy and stream it from this link https://Passenger.lnk.to/SISSINAAID we ran out of vinyls in the first few days and I’m delighted to say that they’re now back in stock !! Thank you for all of the wonderful feedback and support so far . Thanks to you guys we have already made a substantial amount of money for Shelter and the people that they support . Please share this video if you can . Loads of love . Mike x

Hey everyone ! Hope you’ve had a great week :-) My new album “sometimes its something , sometimes its nothing at all” has been out for just over a week and I have to say I’ve been bowled over by the response ….. so many lovely messages flooding through and some amazing support from Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music too … thanks so much guys !!! Because of you lot shouting about it and sharing it around , We’ve now totally paid off all of the recording and manufacturing costs so from now until the end of time, every penny from every sale and stream goes directly to Shelter and the incredibly important services that they provide . You guys are the best - thank you so much for getting behind this one :-) If you haven’t got yours yet then head over to https://Passenger.lnk.to/SISSINAAFA To say thank you , here is possibly the silliest and definitely the most adorable video we’ve ever released …. We have two cats - Rosie and Charlie . They’re brother and sister and are two years old now but when we got them they were tiny kittens . A few days before we were due to collect them , little Charlie got in to an ill fated play fight with another kitten and unfortunately lost an eye (please don’t feel too sorry for him - he’s got a pretty wonderful little life !) As Charlie needed an operation , we ended up collecting Rosie a few days earlier than him . Understandably she was pretty freaked out to suddenly be with new people in a new place and away from her mum and brother :-( and to make matters worse there was an enormous thunderstorm for the first couple of nights that she was with us …. She spent most of the first 48 hours under our bed …. I didn’t know what to do so I tried to sing to her to calm her down . Not sure if it worked but I ended up writing this song . The video is just a load of our personal phone footage , tracking them from our first meeting to present day - lovingly edited together by the tireless Jarrad Seng Photography . As always , please share this around as much as you can … even if you don’t like the song , everyone loves kittens :-) Thanks so much for taking the time to read and watch and listen . Loads of love . Mike xx

Hello everyone !! I have some BIG news ….. Im delighted to say that I am releasing a brand new album TODAY and you can grab your copy on cd or vinyl now from this link Passenger.lnk.to/SISSINAAFA Its called “sometimes its something , sometimes its nothing at all” (I know ….. its a silly and very long title !!) the whole album is just me with a string quartet and I was lucky enough to record it at Abbey Road Studios …. The best part about it is that all of the profits generated from sales and streams will be donated to Shelter . Shelter is an amazing uk based homeless charity . For those of you that are interested you can read about the fantastic work that they do here https://england.shelter.org.uk/support_us/passenger I’ll be playing some songs from the record live at 4pm (uk time) tomorrow afternoon so tune in to Facebook / youtube to watch . This is an entirely independent release . We’re not working with any labels / media partners to ensure that as much money as possible goes to charity . As a result we’re relying hugely on word of mouth so please please spread the word as much as you can . Tell you’re friends about it and go and stream it constantly with the sound down haha - every little helps ;-) Here is a little video for the title track . Really hope you like it . Thank you all so much for the support . Mike xx Ps huge thanks to ….. Chris Vallejo , Ross Irwin , Matt Fury , Matt Mysko , Rhian Porter , Kirsty Mangan , Catriona Parker , Emma Owens , Louise Mulgrew , Dan Medland , Rebekah Tayler And Clean Cut Media !

So many in fact that we are now looking in to it …. I really can’t promise anything at this stage but we’re trying our very best to make something work …. So , for now if you’re living in Durban or close by and want to come to a show it may be best to hold off until we have more info ….. the last thing I’d want is for people to book travel / hotels etc and then I end up playing two blocks away from your house … we’ll update as soon as we can .

SOUTH AMERICA and MEXICO - I’m not really sure what to say . The last five weeks have been the most incredible adventure and genuinely one of the best and most enjoyable tours I’ve ever been a part of . Its always been a dream of mine to spend time in this part of the world and the fact that I got to come here with some of my best friends and play music makes me feel so unbelievably lucky . We’ve been blown away by the warmth and kindness that we’ve encountered . Every crowd has been so passionate and engaged . We will definitely be back , and as soon as possible . In the meantime , here is a little video of our time here . Watching it back makes me realise just how much we’ve seen and done in such a short amount of time …. The song is “restless wind” - its been around for a few years now but it just felt like the right soundtrack to this phenomenal journey . A huge thank you to Jarrad Seng , Stu Larsen , Ed Sheeran and his amazing crew , thomas , Ian , simon , Roxy , Marcos , dan , bek and fran . Thank you all so much for working so hard and making this happen . I love you all . Thanks also to all of our teams in South America !!
